Hey y'all!!
I decided to post about my Korea and Disney World trip together because I didn't take that many pictures. :( When I arrived in Korea with my family, we went to the Courtyard Mariot hotel, and it was super nice. While we were in Korea, my dad bought a Korean stile cheese Danish from a bakery near the hotel.

After that, we went to a fish market. We bought some fish and we ate it that day!! :D It was delicious.

After Korea, my family and I went to Disney World...

First my family and I went to the Epcot theme park. I do not have any photos, but the food there was super yummy!! :P We were officially in Disney World!! :)

Next, we went to the Magic Kingdom. Now that my siblings and I are older, we were able to ride all of the roller coasters. By far, Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain have got to be my favorites in that theme park. The waits for all of the roller coasters that we rode on, were super long, but we managed to get fastpasses for most of them. :) Sadly, it rained that day. My family and I went to a Disney store to wait until the rain stopped. I was looking around, ans then I saw this super adorable Minnie Mouse plushie!

After the Magic Kingdom, we went to the Animal Kingdom. First we went on Mount Everest. I was a little scared because my dad said that it was a scary roller coaster, but it was really fun! (It wasn’t too scary. :P) After that, we went on the Safari tour and we saw so many cool animals!

After seeing the animals, we went on a ride called DINOSAUR. I thought that it wouldn’t be that scary, but how wrong was I! :) It was very scary. :P My mom and I were screaming the whole time.

The last theme park that we went to was the Hollywood Studios. My favorite ride we went on was the Tower of Terror. It was so fun! :) Next we went to The American Idol Experience. The winner of the competition sounded so good, but I liked one of the other contestants better.

Well, that’s it for now! :) My whole trip was a blast. Please stay tuned for more of my posts and patterns!

Hey y'all!
I am finally back home in the states! My vacation with my family has been great! I wanted to show y'all what I did during my trip. :) Before we left for Taiwan, we went shopping for some short sleeved shirts. ( it is REALLY hot in Asia! :)) My mom kindly bought me a pair of Toms so that my feet wouldn't hurt when I walked in my sandals.

The EVA lounge that we stayed at at the airport was super nice. I just had to show you the cute little Chinese coke and sprite cans.

Aren't they so cute and little? :) After eating at the lounge, I got bored so I began to look at the magazines. On one of the pages, I saw this really cute Hello Kitty necklace!

On the airplane, it was literally filled with Hello Kitty! :) The plane was Hello Kitty and the airplane pillows were Hello Kitty.

Also the screens played Hello Kitty too.

Even the food was Hello Kitty!! :P

First, my family and I went to Taipei 101, and in the building, there is a restaurant called Din Tai Fung. Din Tai Fung has the best dumplings in the world. They are known for their famous Xiao Long Bao. It is a dumpling filled with pork and beef broth. When you put it in your mouth. The dumpling broth seems to explore in your mouth. It so flavorful and delicious! :)
